Sesame Street had a big plot twist in November 1986
My older siblings say they remember our mother sitting them down to watch a new TV show called Sesame Street. A running gag was that Big Bird’s friend, the huge, gentle wooly-mammoth-like Snuffleupagus somehow always disappeared before anyone else on Sesame Street could see him, leading the adults on the show to believe “Snuffy” was…
I can’t fix this broken world but I guess I did okay using #blender3d to model this wedge-shaped building for my #medievalyork #mysteryplay project.
I create five color variations of each #blender3d building I #design, and each of those has closeup, high, mid, and low resolution variations. It’s tedious but enjoyable. Kinda like knitting. #medievalyork #mysteryplay #aesthetics

I just caught myself thinking, “This doesn’t suck.” #medievalyork #mysteryplay #blender3d #design #aesthetics

My mother-in-law invited me to try out the 60- year-old tape machine that belonged to my father-in-law.
My mother-in-law invited me to try out the 60- year-old tape machine that belonged to my father-in-law. When I worked in radio news in the late 1980s, we were still loading reels and splicing tape, so it all came back to me pretty quickly.
About 30 years after I first saw John Speed’s 1676 map of York, today I was working on a region labeled “Z.” Or is that a “2“? There’s both an X and a 3 nearby… confusing context! A glance at the legend shows how brilliantly Speed handled the ambiguity. #usability #ux #ui #design #medieval #cartography

My simulated city has 1000 capsule inhabitants that are just smart enough to gather around markers and wait. In May, I had nothing. I‘m learning. #medievalyork #mysteryplay #unity3d

That’s water under the bridge! Crowds of NPCs charge across, sweeping the player along. Gotta work on that! #unity3d #medievalyork #mysteryplay

How exactly do bridges bridge? How do rivers rive? How much detail does my model of #medievalyork need? My first try will be my worst try. #mysteryplay #blender3d

My project starts to get clunky while managing 1000 NPCs but I think if I split them up into groups of about 10, and only give instructions to the group leader, that will help. Not bad for my first weekend simulating crowds. #unity3d #medievalyork #mysteryplay

My virtual army of grey capsules is just barely smart enough to follow my avatar around. #unity3d

Oops. I’m going to bed now. I’ll fix it tomorrow.

First steps towards reconstructing a 30-year-old simulation. Marking the locations of the traditional performance stations for the York Corpus Christi pageant. #medievalyork #mysteryplay #unity3d

Thank you, 1993 Dennis, for documenting this low-resolution (the background image was 640×480 pixels with 16 colors) simulation so thoroughly. I hope to bring it back to life and upgrade it to 3D soon.

I created about a dozen basic building shapes, with textures to add variety. #goodenough #blender3d #medievalyork #mysteryplay

I’m fairly satisfied with this version of a medieval building trimsheet. (Source photo is of Pickersleigh Court, Malvern, Worcestershire) #aesthetics #design #blender3dart #blender3d #medievalyork
